Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Class of 2015

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Biochemists and molecular biologists ask how the molecules found in biological systems
function to confer the properties of living organisms. The disciplines of biochemistry
and molecular biology form the two sides of the boundary between the classical disciplines
of biology and chemistry.

Chemists and biologists draw inspiration from each other as scientists at this boundary
and learn more about how biological molecules react and interact to convert energy,
build complex structures, maintain order, catalyze reactions, and convey information
spatially and temporally.
